Health benefits

Dark chocolate contains flavonoid antioxidants that may support heart health and reduce oxidative stress. Higher cocoa content generally provides more beneficial compounds and less sugar.

Medjool dates provide natural sugars for energy along with fibre, potassium, and small amounts of antioxidants that support gut health and satiety.

Peanut butter contains healthy unsaturated fats, plant protein, and magnesium, supporting fullness and sustained energy.

Pumpkin seeds are rich in magnesium, zinc, iron, and plant-based protein, supporting immune function, energy metabolism, and heart health.

Pecans are high in monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, which may support heart health and reduce inflammation.

Pistachios provide protein, fibre, and healthy fats, and may support blood sugar balance and satiety.
